The projected world population (in billions of people) t years after

MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 5 e^r * t

Let y be the population in billions and t the value of elapsed years

7 =   5 e^r * t  is the equation being used where  t = 15

7/5 = e^r * t

ln 7/5 = r * t     taking ln of both sides

r = .336 / 15 = .0224

y = 5 e^(.0224 t)    is then our equation

Check  - suppose you want y at 2020

y = 5 e^(.0224 * 20)    would be the equation

y = 5 e^.449 = 7.83  billion - seems to be a reasonable answer

Answer:

  • r = 0.9433

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Substitute the values into equation and solve for r:</u>

  • y = 5e^(rt)
  • 7000000 = 5e^(2015 - 2000)r
  • e^(15r) = 7000000/5
  • e^(15r) = 1400000
  • 15r = ln 1400000
  • 15r = 14.15
  • r = 14.15/15
  • r = 0.9433

What is the percent from 39 to 17
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: 56.4102564% decrease

Explanation: First determine whether the number is increasing or decreasing. Since it changes from 39 to 17, it's going down so it's decreasing.

Now to find the percent decrease,

we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers

which in this case is 39 - 17 and the original number is 39.

So we have \frac{39 - 17}{39}

39 - 17 is 22 so we're left with \frac{22}{39} which gives us 56.4102564

Remember however that our problem is asking for a <em>percent</em>, not a decimal. So we need to write 56.4102564 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 56.4102564.

So when a number changes from 39 to 17, it has decreased by 56.4102564%.

A Christmas jar contains 550 m&amp;ms. Of all the m&amp;ms, 2/5 are green and the rest are red. What is the ratio of green to re
vazorg [7]

Answer:

2:3 unless it wants it in total, then 220:330

Step-by-step explanation:

it gives you the answer with the fraction.  A ratio is basically saying with x:y for every x number of one thing there are y number of another.  In this case we know 2/5 will be green, so how many will be red?  3/5.  So for every 2 greens there are 3 reds.

Another way of looking at it is for the totals.  there are 550 total, so 2/5 of that is green.  2/5 of 550 is 220, while 3/5 is 330  so that means of the 550, the ratio is 220:330.  Kinda like simplifying fractions where 220/550 is the same thing as 2/5
